At the height of his fame, Bret 'the Hitman' Hart was the five-time world champion and star of the WWE that helped lead the company out of the austere mids and into its most lucrative era. He was at the centre of the ratings war between the WWE and its arch-rival WCW, and eventually lured to the latter on record money for a pro-wrestler under acrimonious circumstances that would change the perception of the industry forever.
In the succeeding years, he was known as the guy the WWE "screwed over", and the bereaved brother of fellow wrestling star Owen Hart, who died in a tragic ring accident in Bret would be forced into retirement himself just a year later from a serious concussion that would eventually contribute towards a stroke. But after 18 years away from the ring, after making peace with the WWE with Hall of Fame status, after battling cancer and releasing a best-selling book, does anybody still remember the 'Excellence of Execution' - the self-proclaimed 'best there is, best there was, and best there ever will be'?
Does anybody still care about who he was, what he stood for, or who he is today? Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player. Professional journalists are trained not to make their work about themselves - to avoid use of the words 'I' and 'me' in any interview or feature - but it seems impossible to answer these questions without shining them through the prism of the Bret Hart fan in conversation with his boyhood hero.
And thanks to my job, I was able to reconnect with Bret Hart as an adult for real - face-to-face - and properly analyse with him what it was. For those kids, the pink and black and the whole look with the sunglasses and the leather jacket was the right kind of hero they could get behind, and I think that really set me apart from everyone else. I was well received in Canada and the United States but it was so much bigger over here.
In England I would get stampeded in the lobbies. They would run over to Ultimate Warrior and Macho Man and all those other guys, but they would run over to me too. It was always a bit of surprise - like 'why is everyone so into Bret Hart? He said 'they ought to go out and film that and show how big an impact you have'. No one did, but I remembered it and it was before my big break as champion.
It was all bubbling under the surface. Being a Canadian may have set me apart from some of the American heroes that were coming through at the time, like Macho Man or Ultimate Warrior.
I always had a much softer approach to my interviews and promos. I was not so much that wrestler that was yelling at the screen, I was always the one that was talking to my fans.
I didn't have inch pythons or face paint and things like that. Hart later claimed that his WCW stint to be lacklustre. Bret Hart is her uncle. New User posted their first comment. Log in. Bret hart Net Worth Bret Hart Children.
